Re: DOCSIS 3.0 "wideband" Service starting with Twin Cities said by monkeytap:said by pipdipchip:I know that older WRT54Gs used to only have 33Mbps WAN ports. This might have changed but I know that at least used to be the case. It would make sense if you're only getting around 25Mbps. If you get a service faster than 20Mbps, I would strongly suggest getting a router with a Gigabit WAN port, not just Gigabit LAN ports. On Newegg there's only a few with Gigabit WAN ports but if you're paying for 20Mbps+, it's probably worth it. where would I find this out? the box says LAN: Four 10/100 RJ-45 Switched Ports I'm not sure what pipdipchip  was trying to say but I know of NO WRT54G that had a 33Mbps WAN port. All the 54Gs have 1x10/100baseTX WAN ports. See this link for more thorough details:

Perhaps what he meant was that the combination of hardware/firmware limited the 54Gs to around 33Mbps of throughput. |

You know I do have an entire site on the WRT series, right? lol.
Anyway, here's a thread on DD-WRT about the 35Mbps issue. It has to do with the 200Mhz processor. You can overclock the processor and get a slight increase.

it has an newer chipset
there is an Few Broadcom 5365 routers out there that can do 75mbps+ on the WAN
thanks in part to the IPsec Co processor |

I was lying about the fact some routers can't handle the full 100Mbps? 45Mbps is still less than DOCSIS 3's 50Mbps, isn't it? Therefore my point is still valid.

I have a Linksys WRT54G v8 with the 240Mhz processor. I was wondering if the WAN is limited like you said the older versions are, since the site you linked to only goes up to version 5. Also what about the Linksys WRH54G 1.0 version, is that WAN limited as well to 35Mbps? |

The extra 40Mhz will help, I'm just not sure how much. It was also reported over clocking helps. You can always hopefully over clock up to the point of your connection speed.
